FOREWORD. 



<m 



A- thorough revision of the Course of Study for Approved High Schools 
will be issued next year, and it is proposed that thereafter the revisions of 
this Course be issued in the even years. Several reasons support this plan. 
There does not seem to be any good use in burdening the common school 
course with so many useless pages, when so few of the schools and teachers 
need the High School bulletin. If the revision of the two Courses of Study 
fall in different years the press of work on this Department in the odd years will 
be relieved. The postponement at this time will give opportunity to mature 
some plan's in connection with this Course and to bring it more into harmony 
with the drift of school sentiment in the State. 

In the meantime this partial revision is put forth, and it is hoped that 
friends of secondary education throughout the State will, by criticism and 
suggestiqn, aid in making next year's bulletin a creditable resume of their 
"best thought and experience. Much of the following has been rewritten and 
some innovations will be found. The book list, with special prices to school 
districts, has been retained. In general, the needs of the small high school 
and those that are trying to open courses for the ninth and tenth grades 
have been kept in mind. The inexperienced will find help in providing library 
and laboratory equipment. The experienced have no lack of resources from 
which to draw information. The State University has a helpful bulletin, the 
North Central Association of College's and Secondary Schools has a bulletin 
that can be had by applying to H. A. Hollister, Urbana, 111., and the Missouri 
College Union publishes its minutes. Apply to T. Berry Smith, Fayette. 

It is evident that the people of Missouri are deeply in earnest about their 
public schools. Some very important measures were enacted in the recent 
session of the Legislature. In providing for transportation of pupils the door 
is opened for the consolidation of rural schools. The significance of this fact 
in this connection lies in its effect upon high schools. When a half dozen 
district schools combine to form a consolidated school they establish a high 
school as a part of their scheme, and they insist that the instruction shall be 
rural as contrasted with urban. Another significant measure before the 
Legislature was State Aid for Weak High Schools. This bill failed by a nar- 
tow margin. The State has never definitely acknowledged its obligation to 
the secondary school, but the time seems near when its duty to provide 
secondary as well as elementary, collegiate and professional instruction will 
be admitted to the statutes. Indeed, an implied admission was involved when 
the General Assembly adopted the requirements for new teachers that they 
shall have high school training. 

In this unmistakeable manner has the way been pointed out to this De- 
partment. Two duties, really converging into one, are laid upon it. Con- 
solidation must be fostered and high schools must be incubated and brooded.

Gladly responding to the will of the people, a great part of the energies of 
this Department will be turned in this direction. 

A number of County Superintendents and others are already studying 
consolidation. Their attention is directed to Kern's, Among Rural Schools, 
Ginn & Co., to Foght's, The Rural School, The Macmillan Co., to bulletin 
232 of the National Department of Agriculture, and to the bulletin on Con- 
solidation issued by the State University. 

' The work of the High School Inspector of this Department will be given 
chiefly to the schools of the first class and to those struggling to get into it. 
In order to avoid duplication of effort, to conserve energy, and to cover the 
field more fully, he and the examiner from the University will divide the 
field and, so far as possible, will not visit the same schools. Arrangements have 
also been made by which the first class high schools will be fully accredited, 
and none will be held in this group that cannot be fully credited. This will 
avoid apparent conflicts between the two lists, first-class high schools and 
fully accredited high schools. 

The University reports and the reports of this Department will be ex- 
changed and full faith and credit will be given by each of these educational 
agencies to the work of the other. 

WM. P. EVANS, 
State Superintendent of Public Instruction. 



COURSES OF STUDY 

FOR 

APPROVED HIGH SCHOOLS. 

Under the provisions of the Revised Statutes of 1909, the State Superin- 
tendent of Public Schools is authorized to classify high schools, and to pre- 
scribe minimum courses of study for each class. The law provides that a first 
class high school shall maintain a four-year course of standard work in 
English, mathematics, science and history for a term of at least nine months 
each year, and that such school shall employ the entire time of at least three ap- 
proved teachers in high school work; that a second class high school shall main- 
tain a three-year course, a term of at least nine months, and employ the entire 
time of two approved teachers in high school work; that a third class high school 
shall maintain a two-year course, a term of at least eight months, and employ the 
entire time of at least one approved teacher in high school work. 

The law also provides that all approved work completed in a classified high 
school shall be given full credit in requirements for entrance to, and classifica- 
tion in, any educational institution supported in whole or in part by State ap- 
propriations. 

It is the purpose of the State Superintendent to carry out the intention of 
the law and to encourage and develop, as much as lies in his power, the high 
schools of Missouri. Especial attention will be given to the small high school 
that is struggling to raise its standards. These schools are rendering a great 
service to the State and need encouragement. 

Every community needs a high school. The boys and girls who are unable 
to go away from home to attend schools higher than the grammar school 
should be given as good educational advantages as possible in their own dis- 
tricts. That high school training is of great value to the pupil cannot be de- 
nied. The rural boys and girls are as worthy of high school training as the 
town and city boys and girls. There should be a high school within six miles 
of every home in the State. The State Superintendent hopes to see some 
means soon provided by the State for the establishment of such high schools. 
State Aid for the rural and small high school is one of the great needs in Mis- 
souri now. These high schools should provide extensive courses in practical 
agriculture, manual training and domestic science. They should prepare boys 
and girls to enjoy and make the most of life on the farm, in the store or shop. 

The primary purpose of the high school is not to fit the pupil to enter a 
higher educational institution, any more than the primary purpose of the ele- 
mentary school is to prepare him for entrance to the high school. The work 
of the schools should, nevertheless, be so arranged and developed that every 
year will give to the pupil something in addition to what he had at the be- 
ginning of the term that will better fit him for life and for continued work in 
school. High school work should not be thorough in order that it may be 
"accepted for entrance to and classification in" the higher educational institu- 
tions of the State, but it should be accepted by such institutions because it is- 

(3) 



thorough and because the pupil graduating from a high school doing such 
work has had two or more years of training that will be valuable to him under 
all circumstances. 

The State Superintendent will, therefore, insist upon strict compliance 
with the conditions prescribed herein. He will also insist that the actual 
teaching be satisfactory before a high school shall be classified, or continued 
in its class. 

The following are the required minimum courses of study for the three 
classes of high schools. If conditions warrant, boards of education may offer 
more than is prescribed herein for any class. But at least the minimum re- 
quirements must be met before any school can be classified. It is not neces- 
sary that every pupil take all the subjects offered in the high school of any 
class, but every pupil who graduates must complete the minimum number of 
units required of high schools of the class to which his high school belongs. 

A third class high school must offer eight units; a second class, twelve 
units; a first class, sixteen. In a first class school every unit that is counted 
toward graduation in any course must be approved. 

By a unit is meant one year's work in a subject, recited five times a week, 
for a period of not less than 40 minutes. 

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THIRD CLASS (TWO-YEAR) 

HIGH SCHOOLS. 

English 2 units 

Mathematics 2 units 

History I unit 

Science I unit 

Electives 2 units 

The electives may be two in Latin; one additional in science; one addi- 
tional in history; one in reviews. 

The following sciences may be offered in third class high chools: Practi- 
cal agriculture, one unit; physical geography, one unit; zoology, one unit; 
botany, one unit; biology, one unit. 

The following history courses may be offered: Ancient history, one unit; 
medieval and modern history, one unit; general history, one unit; English 
history, one or one-half unit; American history and government, one or one- 
half unit. The first year's work must consist of general history or ancient 
history, preferably general history, followed by American or English history. 

The following courses in mathematics may be offered: Algebra, one, one 
and one-half, or two units; geometry, one unit; advanced arithmetic, one-half 
unit. Most two-year high schools should give two units of algebra. The 
first year's work must be algebra in all cases. 

If Latin is offered at all, two units must be given. 

The unit in reviews may consist of advanced arithmetic and industrial 
geography, one-half unit in each. Reviews with eighth grade classes will not 
be credited as high school work. Eighth grade pupils can not do high school 
work. 



MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR SECOND CLASS (THREE-YEAR) 

HIGH SCHOOLS. 

English 3 units 

Mathematics 2 units 

History 2 units 

Science 1 unit 

Electives 4 units 

The electives may be one additional in mathematics; one additional in 
history; two additional in science; two or three in Latin; two or three in 
German; one in reviews; one in pedagogy; one in music; one in domestic 
science; one in manual training; one in bookkeeping. 

If three units are offered in history, the following is a good arrangement: 
General history, one unit; English history, one unit; American history and 
government, one unit. See requirement for third-class schools. 

If three units in science are offered, one of them should be physics. 

In mathematics, at least one unit in algebra and one in geometry must be 
given. 

The unit in reviews is the same as for the third-class high schools, and 
these reviews must be given during the third year of the course. 

If any foreign language is offered, at least two units must be given. 

While a wide range of electives is suggested, it is advised that each school 
select a< few subjects and do well whatever is undertaken. A school that em- 
ploys only two teachers can not do well more than twelve units. 

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRST CLASS (FOUR-YEAR) 

HIGH SCHOOLS. 

English 3 units 

Mathematics 2 units 

History 2 units 

Science 2 units 

Electives 7 units 

The electives may be two additional in mathematics, two additional in 
history, two additional in science, one additional in English, three or four in 
Latin, two or three in German, two or three in French, two or three in Greek, 
one in bookkeeping, one in pedagogy, two in manual training, two in domestic 
science, two in drawing, one in music, one-half in advanced arithmetic, one- 
half in industrial geography, one-half in economics. 

Pedagogy, to be counted as a unit, must be taught by a graduate of the 
University of Missouri or of a first-class college, or of one of the Missouri 
State Normal Schools, or of a normal school of equal rank; or such teacher 
must hold a life State certificate, with credit on the special professional sub- 
jects. No course in pedagogy will be approved unless the teacher of such 
course has had several years of successful experience in supervision of schools 
and in teaching. 

In addition to time devoted to study of the text, and to recitations, ever\f 
pupil in science must devote at least two (2) double periods a week to labor- 
atory work. In history and literature at least two (2) periods a week must be 
devoted to library work, or to the preparation of written reports on work as- 
signed. 



There are forty-four (44) units suggested, and sixteen (16) required in a 
first-class high school, seven of them being electives. 

Languages, other than English, should not be undertaken for less than 
two years. Not less than two units in any language will be approved. A 
course of study containing few subjects has many advantages: (1) It requires 
fewer teachers or makes a longer course possible; (2) it requires less expensive 
library and laboratory equipment; (3) it promotes thoroughness. 

The State Superintendent invites the co-operation of the State University, 
the Normal Schools and the Colleges in the Missouri College Union in the ' 
work of inspecting and classifying the high schools. 

Before a school can be approved it must be inspected, and meet the fol- 
lowing standards: (1) The buildings and rooms must be adapted to their 
respective uses; (2) the library must be adequate for reference and for sup- 
plementing the class work in literature, 'science and history; (3) the school 
must have laboratories well equipped for teaching the sciences; (4) no pupil 
shall be admitted (except conditionally) to the high school unless he has 
finished the common school course; (5) no pupil shall be graduated until he 
has completed the minimum requirements; (6) every teacher must be a gradu- 
ate of a creditable normal school, college or university, or have a State cer- 
tificate covering the subjects he or she teaches, and, in addition, must have 
made special preparation for the work assigned; (7) every teacher's work 
must stand a satisfactory test of inspection along lines of "interest of pupils" 
and "development of subjects." 

It seems best to approve the work of high schools by subjects; then a 
school may be given a list of the subjects approved. In this way a com- 
parison is possible, and every school board will know how to improve condi- 
tions. In order for a school to be first-claas, all the work given in the school 
must be approved, hence in the case of such schools the number of units will 
not be reported. A school that offers 16 approved units is often as good as one 
that offers 24 units. The quality of the work determines the character of the 
school. The approval of a subject will depend on the equipment and the 
teaching. Every change of teachers will make a new inspection necessary and 
may lead to a reclassification. 



SUGGESTIVE OUTLINES. 

English. 

Four units may be offered. 

First Year. — Recommended for study and practice : Hawthorne's Tales of the 
White Hills; Lowell's Vision of Sir Launfal; Poe's The Gold Bug; Arnold's 
Sohrab and Rustum; Stevenson's Treasure Island. 

Suggested for outside reading : Huckleberry Finn ; Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage 
Patch; Poe's Adventures of Hans Pfaal; Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm; Prince and 
Pauper; Blackmore's Lorna Doone. 

Composition work should be both oral and written. The written work should 
be carefully criticised and rewritten. A bi-weekly theme carefully criticised is much 
better than a weekly theme that the teacher does not read. Attention should be 
given to letter writing, to correct habits of pronunciation and to spelling. 

In this year grammar should be carefully reviewed and enlarged upon. The 
pupils should now secure very accurate knowledge of grammatical constructions 



and grammatical analysis, because this knowledge is indispensable to right inter- 
pretation of literature and correct expression of thought. 

In the study of masterpieces as outlined above, those recommended for study 
should be read carefully, and critically discussed by pupils before recitation in 
class ; those recommended for outside reading should be reviewed in carefully 
prepared papers that give evidence of close reading. It may be well sometimes to 
have portions of the pieces assigned for outside reading studied in class. 

About two-fifths of this year's work should be devoted to literature, two-fifths 
to grammar and one-fifth to composition. 

Second Year. — Recommended for study and practice: The Merchant of 
Venice; Ivanhoe; Tennyson's Gareth and Lynette; First Bunker Hill Oration; The 
Deserted Village. 

Suggested for outside reading: David Copperfield; A Tale of Two Cities; 
Innocents Abroad ; Leatherstocking Tales ; Captains Courageous. 

Rhetoric and Composition: Half of a good rhetoric text should be thoroughly 
mastered during this year. The teacher should make the rhetoric practical through 
illustration and development of principles from classics studied and through care- 
ful composition work. The pupil may very profitably find for himself in literature 
illustrations of rhetoric principles. Some of the themes written should be on sub- 
jects from life and others on subjects from literature. Particular attention should 
be paid to description and narration. The masterpieces studied and read will 
afford abundant material for teaching at least viewpoint and plan in description; 
and for teaching setting, plot, development of character and delineation of char- 
acter in narration. 

Third Year. — Recommended for study and practice: Sir Roger de Coverley 
Papers; Julius Caesar; Macaulay's Life of Johnson; Silas Marner. 

Suggested for outside reading: Midsummer Night's Dream; The Vicar of 
Wakefield; Master of Ballantrae; Cranford; The Lady of the Lake. 

Rhetoric and Composition: The rhetoric text should be completed. Great 
progress should be made in analysis, in outlining, in organization of complex ma* 
terial. Particular attention should be paid to exposition and its elements. Every 
pupil should be required to write and memorize for public delivery a debate and a 
short oration. 

Fourth Year. — Recommended for study and practice : Macbeth ; L'allegro and 
II Pensoroso; Burke's Speech on Conciliation; Gray's Elegy; Sesame and Lilies; 
The Idyls of the King. 

- Suggested for outside reading: Vanity Fair; Pride and Prejudice; The 
Scarlet Letter; As You Like It. 

History of literature : It is recommended that a survey of the history of 
English literature be made. The text studied should not be too long in order that 
most of the time may be devoted to literature itself instead of the history of it. 

Composition : The interest in composition should be sustained or even in- 
creased during this year. In order that pride in good work may be encouraged, 
students should be given every possible opportunity to read and to deliver from 
memory their original papers. 

Note I. — The rhetoric text should be completed in the second year of a two 
or three-year high school course. The amount of reading may be proportionately 
reduced. 

Note II. — In a three-year high school course, the rhetoric text having been 
completed in the second year, a text on history of English literature should be 
studied during the third year. 

Note III. — The Department of Education strongly recommends that all four- 
year high schools require four years work in English. If, however, in some such 



high schools it is deemed advisable to require only three years of English, note 
II holds good. In this event an elective course in English should be offered for 
the fourth year. 

Below is appended the list of College Entrance Requirements in English. Should 
more masterpieces either for critical study or for outside reading be needed, they 
should be chosen from this list. Moreover, the teacher should feel free to sub- 
stitute pieces from this list for those in the outline above always with the pro- 
viso that the piece substituted shall be of equal rank and of similar literary quali- 
ties.

Mathematics. 

/ Four Units May Be Offered. 

Algebra. One and one-half units. Complete elements of Algebra and in ad- 
dition, solution of simultaneous quadratics, chiefly by graphical processes, of higher 
equations solved as quadratics, of probfems whose solution depends upon quadratics ■ 
the formation of equations with given roots; the binomial theorem for positive in- 
tegral exponents; practical use of logarithms; ratio and proportion and other 
simple work on variation. For more detailed outline see the report of the com- 
mittee of the State Teachers' Association, Joplin meeting, 1907. The text should 
cover the ground in the best algebras, preferably the newer books which contain 
work on graphs. Books which do not contain all the above mentioned material 
may be sufficient for the first unit, but not for the unit and a half. 

Algebra. One unit. A few schools prefer to require only one year of algebra 
Such schools will do slightly less than is outlined above and will be approved for 
one unit. 

Algebra. Two units. In two year high schools it is usually best to give only 
algebra and to spend two years on the subject. In such cases a very strong high 
high school text should be selected and the work of the text should be completed 
More work than is outlined above can be done in the two years. A more extended 
study of imaginary quantities, the binomial theorem, and quadratic equations with 
one and two unknowns can be given. Graphical work on quadratics should be 
emphasized. Roots of equations and their relations thoroughly mastered. Some 
work on progressions and variations can be given. Study the function. Make 
graphs of problems in variation. 

Plane Geometry. One unit. The work in Plane Geometry, in order to be ac- 
ceptable, must cover a full year in some good text. It is recommended that strong 
emphasis be placed on a very few of the most important theorems, such as the 
congruence theorems, the similarity theorems, the Pythagorean theorem, etc., and 
that the student be led to see that he need not remember many of the lesser 
theorems provided he knows how to get them whenever he wants them by reference 
to these larger theorems. The student should thus see that the logic of the subject 
HS— 2 



10 



plays a large part in assisting the memory and in relieving the memory from un- 
necessary burdens. Original demonstrations should form an important part of the 
work. It is recommended that informal proofs be accepted for some of the most 
obvious theorems and that the notion of a strictly logical proof be developed 
gradually as the student can be led to see the need for such proof. The theory 
of limits and the proofs for the incommensurable cases may be omitted or only 
briefly explained by the teacher. It is recommended that part of the year be 
spent on the applications of Algebra to Geometry and of Geometry to Algebra. 

Arithmetic. One-half unit. This half unit will not be approved unless it is 
given after the completion of the elementary courses in Algebra and Geometry. 
An extended variety of topics is by no means so desirable as a careful study of 
the meaning of the simpler and more fundamental processes of Arithmetic, together 
with application to problems drawn as widely as possible from Geometry, Physics, 
Mensuration, and other subjects with which the student is already familiar. 
Algebraic forms of thinking may well be used where these assist in understanding 
the subject. In a large number of schools the pupils who take this work in Arith- 
metic are planning to teach. In such cases quite a little attention may be given to 
methods in Arithmetic. Such a book as Smith's The Teaching of Arithmetic, will 
be very helpful. Some advanced text on Arithmetic should be used for this 
work. A regular eighth grade text will not be satisfactory. 

Algebra. Additional half unit. This half unit will not be approved unless it 
is given after the completion of the elementary courses in Algebra and Geometry. 
The spirit of the work offered for this half unit should be the same as that in- 
dicated in the above outline for Arithmetic. In particular, the close relation of 
Algebra to Arithmetic and Geometry should be emphasized. All the work sug- 
gested above under two units should be done in this class. Some text desig- 
nated "Advanced Algebra" or "Second Course in Algebra" should be used. 
The same text used in the first and second years will not be satisfactory for 
this work. 

Solid Geometry. One-half unit. The work in Solid Geometry should cover 
a full half year's work. The development of the student's space conception is a 
valuable aim in the work, and it may well be aided by the construction and study 
of models and by the experimental verification of theorems. 

Trigonometry. One-half unit. This is supposed to cover a half year's work. 
It should include the elementary notions, logarithms, functions of obtuse angles, 
solution of right-angled triangles, some work in oblique triangles, and some 
familiarity with the formulas involving two angles. 

History. 

Four Units May Be Offered. 

The course of study recommended consists of a full year's work, five periods 
a week of forty minutes each, in each of the four fields of history — Ancient, 
Medieval and Modern, English, and American. In order to develop in the pupils 
the sense of historical unity and growth, the course of study should be so planned 
as to have one period or field succeed another in natural sequence. Accordingly, 
the course should begin with a year's work in Ancient History and this be followed 
by a second year devoted to Medieval and Modern History. The third year will, 
naturally, be devoted to English History, and the fourth to American History and 
Civil Government. If desired, English History may be given in the second year 
and Medieval and Modern in the third year, without seriously affecting the con- 
tinuity or value of the instruction. A reason for such transposition may be found 
in the relative difficulty of the two courses, both from the teacher's and pupil's 
standpoints. 



11 

For a three years' course of study, Ancient History may be followed in the 
second year by Medieval and Modern History, with attention to English History 
as a part of the field, or by English History, with attention given to continental 
European history, and in the third or fourth year American History, or American 
History and Civil Government, should be studied. 

A two years' course may comprise a year's work in Ancient History fol- 
lowed by a year of Medieval and Modern History. Such a brief course, how- 
ever, is not recommended, and accredited schools offering but two units should 
make every effort to. add another year's work in history to their programme. 
See Suggestions on History under second and third class high schools, pp. 
4 and 5. 

The following brief statements in regard to the several units will serve to 
indicate the scope of the course and the type of text-books acceptable to the Uni- 
versity. 

(1) Ancient History. One unit. The completion of a careful and thorough 
course of study extending over one entire school year in Oriental, Greek, and 
Roman .history. 

(2) Medieval and Modern History. One unit. A year's study of the history 
, of the European nations and their development and institutions from the period of 

the Germanic invasions to the close of the nineteenth century. 

(3) English History. One unit. A thorough study of English political, govern- 
mental, economic and social history extending through one full school year. 

Note. — A half unit in English History will be given for a shorter course of 
study based on less advanced texts. The half unit course is not recommended, 
however, and it should be given only when it is impossible to devote a full year 
to the subject. 

(4) American History. One unit. This course should embrace a year of ad- 
vanced work in American political, social and institutional history, with special 
reference to the period since 1763. 

Note. — A half-unit in American History will be given for a briefer, or half 
year, course of an advanced character but less comprehensive in scope. Such a 
course is not recommended, however, save in connection with the half-unit in Civil 
Government. 

Civil Government. 

One-half Unit May Be Offered. 

' Course of Study. Systematic instruction in Civil Government should be post- 
poned to the last year of the course of the secondary school. There is a distinct 
advantage in this plan. If given in the earlier years the work would be largely 
a review of what had been done in the last year of the elementary school. Still 
more important is the consideration that the senior in the secondary school is a 
much better subject for such instruction than are pupils in the first and second 
years. He will be much more appreciative of the spirit and content of the course. 
History is so essential to good results in the teaching of government that 
credit will not be given for work in Civil Government unless it is preceded by 
at least one-half year's work in American History. 

Latin. 

Four Units May Be Offered. 

The student should acquire such a vocabulary and such a knowledge of in- 
flections and syntax as to read readily simple Latin prose with accurate quantitative 
pronunciation of the words. He should be carefully trained in reading Latin 



12 



aloud, with proper emphasis and expression, and in rendering Latin into choice, 
idiomatic English. In connection with the reading, there should be some practice 
in writing Latin, and in making frequent written translations. Sight reading 
should be made a frequent exercise. 

The iirst year should be spent in thoroughly mastering the elements of the 
language as given by such beginners' books as Bennett's, Collar and Daniell's, or 
Pearson's. 

During the second year, four books of Caesar's Gallic War should be read. 

An equivalent of Nepos, Viri Romae or Eutropius may be substituted for one 
book of Caesar, if the pupils need some simple Latin as a bridge. This is not 
recommended. The reading should be accompanied by a careful and systematic 
review of grammatical forms and by a study of the leading principles of syntax. 
The latter should be impressed upon the pupil's mind by the translation into Latin 
of English sentences, based upon the text read. One exercise a week should be 
given entirely to this composition work, in which the marking of all long vowels 
should be insisted on. 

During the third year the following orations of Cicero are usually read : four 
orations against Catiline, the oration for the Manilian Law, the oration for the 
Poet Archias. Instead of these, an equivalent may be read in Sallust's Cataline or 
Jugurtha. The grammar and composition work of the preceding year should be 
continued. 

It is recommended that the fourth year be begun by the reading of about a 
thousand lines of Ovid's Metamorphoses. This is to be followed by five books of 
Vergil's Aeneid. If desired the whole year may be devoted to reading six books 
of the Aeneid. The technique of the Latin hexameter should be taught and its 
rhythm should be felt as quantitative and not merely translated into an accentual 
rhythm. 

In connection with the reading of Latin, the mythology of the Greeks and 
Romans and the life and history of the Roman People should be thoroughly taught. 

Greek. 

Three Units May Be Offered. 

Read the suggestions on Latin. 

The first year should be spent on a standard beginner's book, together with 20 
or 30 pages of the Anabasis. 

The second year should be based on the Anabasis. 75 or 100 pages of other 
Attic Prose should be read with this work in the Anabasis, or if preferred, two 
books of the Iliad may be read the last part of the second year. 

The third year should be spent on the Orations of Lysias, the Apology and 
Krito of Plato, and 3000 or 4000 lines of Homer. 

German. 

Three Units May Be Offered. 
(1) The first unit should comprise: (a) Careful drill upon pronunciation, 
(b) Systematic drill upon the elements of grammar, including the inflection of 
the articles, the noun, the adjective, the pronoun, the verb, strong and weak; also 
upon the use of the common prepositions, the simpler use of the modal auxiliaries 
and elementary rules of syntax and word-order, (c) The reading of from 100 
to 150 pages of easy texts, chiefly modern prose, with especial stress laid upon 
acquiring a good working vocabulary, (d) Abundant practice (1) in oral and 
written reproduction of the text, (2) in the memorizing of colloquial and idiomatic 
phrases, and (3) in dictation. Thoroughness should be insisted upon rather than 
quantity. Texts such as the following are recommended: (1) Guerber's Marchen 



13 

und Erzdhlungen I, (2) Seeligmann's Altes und Neues, (3) Gluck Auf, (4) the 
easiest of Grimm's Mdrchen. 

(2) The second unit calls for about 300 pages of moderately difficult reading, 
chiefly prose, with constant practice in oral and written reproduction of selected 
portions ; also drill upon the more difficult chapters of grammar such as the passive 
voice, use of cases with prepositions, verbs, adjectives, uses of tenses and modes 
(especially the infinitive and subjunctive), likewise upon word-order, and word- 
formation. Thoroughness should be insisted upon rather than quantity. The fol- 
lowing texts are among those recommended : (a) For reading, Baumbach's Som- 
mermdrchen and Waldnovellen, Leander's Trdumereien, Zschokke's Der zerbrochene 
Krug, Das Wirtshaus zu Cransac, Storm's Immensee, Heyse's L'Arrabiata; (b) for 
composition, Pope's Composition, Stern's Geschichten vom Rhein, Bacon's Im 
Vaterland. 

($) The third unit calls for : (a) The reading of from 400 to 500 pages of 
good modern prose stories and plays and the ability to use the language effectively 
as a means of oral and written expression; (b) Abundant practice in the writing 
of compositions. Among the texts recommended are Benedix' Der Prozess, Die 
Hochzeitsreise,' Moser's Der Bibliothekar, Manley and Allen's Four German 
Comedies, Storm's Der S chimmelr eiter , Riehl's Burg Neideck, Sudermann's Frau 
Sorge, Freytag's Die J ournalisten, Helbig's Komodie auf der Hochschule, Schiller's 
Wilhelm Tell. 

French. 

/ . Three Units May Be Offered. 

If only one modern language can be given, this should be German. In some 
of the larger schools there may be a demand for French. The three units of 
French, when offered, should be the equivalent of the three units in German. 

Pedagogy. 

One Unit May Be Offered. 
Pedagogy should be offered only in such schools as are able to place a very 
strong, skillful and enthusiastic teacher in charge of the work. A library con- 
taining at least fifty dollars' worth of modern pedagogical books should be pro- 
vided before offering the course in pedagogy. 

PEDAGOGY. 

I. Psychology. 

As an introduction to the Course a brief study should be made of the more 
important phases of consciousness. This study should not be highly technical, but 
as simple and practical as possible. Among the problems to be considered may be 
mentioned : 

1. The relation of the nervous system and consciousness. 2. Attention. 3. 
Sensation. 4. Perception. 5. Imagination. 6. Memory. 7. The organization of

portant principles in heating and ventilation, (g) Making the school room at- 
tractive. 

3. Course of Study. The subjects of the elementary school curriculum as 
outlined in the State Course of Study should be taken up and studied in some 
detail, using some such topics as the following: (a) History, (b) Values, (c) 
What should be included, (e) Fundamental principles, (f) Important problems 
of method peculiar to the subject. 

4. Outdoor Problems. 

1. The Organization of Play. 

2. School Gardens. 

.3. The Water Supply. 

4. Keeping the School Yard in Good Order. 

Note.— When the course is offered in connection with a well organized city 
-system, it is highly desirable that the student should spend some time in the last 
two or three weeks of the study in observing some good teaching throughout the 
different grades in the school. This is especially needed in the matter of primary 
work, for the reason that primary methods have been changing so rapidly in the 
last few years. 

Note II.— Schools that give only one-half of the year to pedagogy should con- 
fine the work to management and methods, with special emphasis on the Missouri 
Course of Study. Some schools that give one year to the subject may desire to 
•omit psychology and spend the time on management and methods. 



15 



Physics. 

One Unit May Be Offered. 

The work in physics consists of three very closely related parts ; namely, class 
work, lecture-demonstration work and student laboratory work. Three periods a 
week should be devoted to class or lectures-demonstration work, and two double 
periods (80 minutes) to individual laboratory work by the pupil. The two periods 
of laboratory work count as one of assigned work. 

It is advisable that the student use a good laboratory manual separate from 
the text-book. In the laboratory the student shall perform at least thirty in- 
dividual experiments, and shall keep a careful note-book record of them. At least 
twenty of these should involve numerical work and the determination of such 
quantitative relations as may be expressed in whole numbers. Such quantitative 
work should aim to foster the habit of thinking quantitatively, but should not at- 
tempt to verify laws with minute accuracy nor to determine known physical con- 
stants with elaborate apparatus. 

Below is given a syllabus of experiments suggestive for the individual pupil, 
tho the teacher is not expected to follow the order of topics in the syllabus 
unless he wishes to do so. The starred topics are considered especially important. 
The twenty quantitative experiments should not differ widely from those that are 
starred. 

Syllabus of Required Topics. 

This list of required topics is not intended to include all the material for the 
year's work. It is purposely made short, in order that each teacher may be free 
to supplement it in a way that fits his individual environment. 
*l. Weight, center of gravity. 
*2. Density. 

*3. Parallelogram of forces. 
4. Atmospheric pressure; barometer.

density, and shape of vessel. 

*7. Buoyancy; Archimedes' principle. Specific gravity of bodies heavier 
and lighter than water. 

*8. Pascal's law; hydraulic press. 
9. Work as force times distance, and its measurement in foot-pounds and 
gram-centimeters. 

. 10. Energy measured by work.

*46. Simple alternating current dynamo of one loop. 

*47. Electromagnetic induction by breaking a circuit; primary and secondary. 

48. Conservation of energy. 



Chemistry. 

One Unit May Be Offered. 

Chemistry is an art as well as a science. Acquaintance with its elements in- 
cludes ability to do certain things intelligently as well as to remember the bare 
results of chemical changes. 

It is considered more important that chemistry be treated in the high school 
as an art rather than as a science. The art of chemistry consists in the practical 
knowledge of the physical properties of all kinds of matter and the utilizing of 
this knowledge in arranging intelligently the conditions before chemical change, 
in noting all physical indications during experiment and distinguishing the significant 
ones, and in interpreting the result of this observation. 

The pupil finally should be taught to observe: 

1. Manipulation — Properties of common apparatus in respect to structure, 

material and condition. 

2. Phenomena — Physical phenomena, their recognition, description, and 

physical interpretation. 

3. Application — The more strictly chemical application of the results. 

A year's work in Chemistry shall consist of five periods a week, of which at 
least two must be devoted to laboratory work, a laboratory period being under- 
stood as covering a space of 80 minutes. 

Notes should be made at the desk while the work is in progress and no 
transcription should be permitted; neatness of the book may be sacrificed in this 
way, but unless the notes are original records they are of no value as scientific 
work. All calculations should appear in the note book, as unsatisfactory results 
are often due to bad arithmetic. 



17 



For most satisfactory laboratory instruction the teacher should not have in 
charge more than sixteen workers at any one time. 

Physical Geography. 

One Unit May Be Offered. 

In most of the better high schools the subject of physical geography is rapidly 
becoming a laboratory science. This is as it should be, and no recognition or 
approval will be given where only the text-book is used, and the laboratory is not 
a most important supplement to the classroom work. 

Some very definite work is required in order to do that which is accepted as 
a unit in physical geography. The following outline includes only the most 
essential facts and principles of physical geography: 

I. The Earth as a Globe — Shape of earth; size; rotation; revolution; seasons 
and their causes; magnetism; map projection explained. 

, II. The Land — Changes in land areas and land forms ; plains ; plateaus ; 
mountains ; volcanoes ; rivers ; lakes ; glaciers. 

III. The Atmosphere — Temperature; pressure; circulation of atmosphere; 
moisture; storms. 

IV. The Ocean — Movement of ocean waters, waves, currents, tides; work of 
ocean. 

In order to study to advantage the above topics under the heading of "The 
Land," topographic maps are recommended. Order these maps from the United 
States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C. The topographic maps cost three 
cents eacfy in lots of one hundred. The following list includes all maps mentioned 
in the bulletin "A Unit in Physical Geography," published for free distribution by 
the University of Missouri, Columbia. The maps that are starred are considered 
essential. The number of copies of each map needed will depend upon the number 
of pupils in the class and the plan of the work. There should be one map for each 
two students, whether working in one section or more than one.

gestions for the 'equipment of laboratories." 

Physiology. 

One Unit May Be Offered. 
Physiology should be preceded by a course in general biology or by an intro- 
ductory course either in Zoology or in Botany. At least' two periods a week should 
be given to laboratory demonstrations by the instructor and to dissections and ex- 
periments performed by the student, always under careful supervision. In a high 
school physiology course, a certain amount of time must be given to the anatomical 
study of structures which are to be used later for physiological experiment and 
demonstration. Careful notes and drawings of such structures should be pre- 
served for use as guides in making physiological preparations. Full notes should 
be taken of all demonstrations, also, and these notes should indicate the observa- 



19 



tions made directly on living tissues and organs, and should show the results of 
the study of mechanical records of experiments, such as muscular contractions, 
etc. 

In digestion, secretion, blood clotting and in the composition of tissues, the 
elementary phases of physiological chemistry should be presented. Laboratory 
notes, the original notes taken at the time of the experiments, are required. 

Agriculture equipment, see Warren. 

General Biology. 

One Unit May Be Offered. 

This course should be designed to present a general survey of biological 
science, including the life processes, the activities, the adaptations, as well as the 
structure of organisms, treated from the standpoint of their general relations. 
General Biology is the study of the fundamental properties of living things, as 
illustrated by a carefully selected series of both animal and plant. forms. 

The laboratory work, guided by suitable directions, should precede text-book 
work in this subject, and the pupil should be required to make careful drawings 
■ and notes on all observations. 

Accurate observations of the records of the normal activities of living animals 
and plants should be made wherever practicable, both in the laboratory and in the 
field. 

Simple experiments on the behavior of animals are very valuable, and should 
be made if possible. 

The , following series of forms for study is suggested: 

(i) Amoeba; (2) Paramoecium or Vorticella; (3) Haematococcus ; (4) Yeast 
Plant; (5) Spirogyra; (6) Hydra; (7) Mucor or Penicillium; (8) Earthworm; 
(9) Crayfish; (10) Grasshopper; (11) Fern; (12) Fresh Water Clam; (13) Seeds 
and seedlings; (14) Flowering Plant; (15) Frog, with metamorphosis. 

Botany. 

One Unit May Be Offered, 

It is the desire that the suggestions here made will be ttnderstood as being 
sufficiently elastic to give adequate recognition to all good courses in high school 
botany, rather than to present a set line of procedure that must be followed by 
all. The work that is done should meet the needs of the pupils regardless of 
whether any work is to be done later in any higher institution of learning. Em- 
phasis is placed upon both the quantity and quality of the work done, and upon 
the preparation of the teacher, rather than upon the particular things that are to 
be done. 

The following topics are suggested : 

I. General Studies with Seed Plants— (1) Morphology of seeds and seedlings, 
with physiological studies; (2) Absorption and nutrition; (3) Growth — morph- 
ology and functions of; (4) Roots; (5) Stems; (6) Leaves and buds; (7) Flowers 
and fruits; (8) Pollination and seed development; (9) Winter conditions of 
plants. 

II. A Progressive Series of Types — A brief morphological study of (10) an 
alga; (11) a fungus, (12) a moss, (13) a fern, (14) a conifer, (15) some flowering 
plant. (16) Classification, or plant families in general. 

III. Field Studies — (17) The relations of plants to each other and to their 
environment — plant adaptations; (18) General economic consideration. 



20 



Zoology. 

One Unit May Be Offered. 

A high school course in Zoology should have three objects: (i) To acquaint 
the student with the common animals of his own neighborhood, with the adapta- 
tions which these animals show to their environment, and with their habits and 
economic importance. (2) To afford training in critical methods of making and 
recording observations both by drawing and by writing, both in the laboratory and 
in the field. (3) To teach enough of the interpretation of the observed facts that 
the student may understand the current methods of interpretation from the morpho- 
logical, physiological, and ecological standpoints. 

The same methods of instruction should be followed as suggested for General 
Biology. The following series of animals , is suggested: 

(1) Protozoa (Amoeba, and Paramoecium or Vorticella) ; (2) Hydra; (3) 
Starfish; (4) Earthworm; (5) Crayfish; (6) Grasshopper and other insects in 
comparison; (7) Fresh-water Mussel or Snail; (8) Frog with metamorphosis; 
(9) A bird, the Pigeon; (10) A Fish; (11) A Mammal, the Cat, or Rabbit. 

Agriculture. 

One Unit May Be Offered. 

The work should consist of two parts, (1) individual laboratory and field 
work and (2) recitations based upon the laboratory work, the text-book and as- 
signed readings. Three periods a week should be given to the recitations and two 
double periods a week to laboratory and field work. As a rule, the laboratory 
work should precede rather than follow the recitation. Every school should have 
a small plat of ground, a half acre or more, for a school farm and garden. It is 
not essential that the topics be studied in the order given below. It is essential, 
however, that the study of soils precede the study of plants, and that the problems 
of farm management come last. 

No special list of experiments is required. Each teacher should prepare a list 
of at least sixty experiments. Practically every topic in the outline may be made 
the basis of a profitable laboratory or field exercise. The outline here given is an 
abbreviated statement of the one in the State University Bulletin, entitled A Unit 
in Agriculture, by Joseph Dolliver Elliff. This circular, A Unit in Agriculture, 
contains suggestions concerning the course of study, method of teaching and equip- 
ment of laboratories and libraries, for teaching Agriculture in Accredited Schools. 
It may be obtained free by addressing the Mailing Clerk, University of Missouri, 
Columbia, Missouri. Part II of this circular is also published separately as a 
pupils' laboratory manual in Agriculture, and copies of it may be secured free by 
writing to the Secretary of the Committee on Accredited Schools, University of 
Missouri, Columbia, Missouri. 

The outline is as follows : 

Farm Crops. — Corn, wheat, oats, the legumes, the grasses, potatoes, and other 
crops of importance grown in the vicinity of the school.

Economics. 

One-half Unit May Be Offered. 

The 'course in Economics should not be given earlier than the fourth year 
in the high school. The subject-matter should include the leading facts and 
principles of economics, such as division of labor, the factors of production, the 
laws of diminishing returns, demand and supply, value and price, wages, interest, 
rent and profit, credit, taxation, regulation of monopolies, and international trade. 
One of the better grade of texts in current use such as those by Bullock, Clark, 
Davenport, Ely and Wicker, Johnson, Laughlin, Walker, etc., will serve as a basis 
for the work, but should be supplemented with discussion and practical exercises. 
Written exercises are desirable. 

Commercial Geography. 

One-half Unit May Be Offered. 

The object of this course is to discover the causes of the present territorial 
distribution of industries and of the location of lines of communication and trans- 
portation. It should treat in detail with reference to the United States, and in less 
detail with reference to the outlying possessions of the United States and to the 
most important commercial countries, the following topics: (1) the effect of 
surface, soil, climate, etc., that is, the physical factor in commerce; (2) the in- 
fluence of race, religion, education, commercial policies, etc., that is, the human 
factor in commerce; (3) the effect of economic forces on production and com- 
merce; (4) means of transportation and communication. The text-book should 
be supplemented by map work and assigned readings. The census of manufactures 
in the United States and other countries would form a valuable reference library, 
both for the purpose of map work and assigned readings. 

It is desirable that for purposes of illustrations samples of commercial staples, 
lantern slides, stereopticon pictures, etc., should be freely employed ; and wherever 
possible, that visits of inspection be made and informal lectures secured by ex- 
perts in various industries. Commercial Geography should be preceded by Physical 
Geography, in case both are given. 



22 

In case a large number of the pupils taking this subject plan to teach; some 
attention should be given to the pedagogy of geography. 

For suggestions in library and laboratory equipment consult former editions 
of the State Course of Study or the Circular of Information to Accredited Schools 
issued by the State University, which may be had through the office of the Secre- 
tary of the Committee on Accredited Schools, University of Missouri, Columbia.
